A Limerick A Day to Keep You On Your Way©
There is the Author of Creation.
Molding and shaping animation.
Man’s story,
HIS Glory.
Love eternal, without cessation.
Imagination.
If you were to write a story of creation how would you imagine it?
The Bible tells us G_D created us in His image.1 We have a habit of writing G_D into our stories but the truth is G_D wrote our story.
Have you ever read a book said, “What a crappy ending.” You just want to change it. The story G_D wrote for mankind has a glorious ending. The end is the beginning of greater glory. This isn’t one of those times you are irritated if someone tells you the end of the story if you haven’t read the book. This book, the Bible, ends in glory. The more you read it the more you open your mind to things you could never imagine were possible. It’s HIS Story living in you, becoming your story. A story for His Glory. The Glory Story where everyone has their part to play.
How do I play my part?
The Book of Revelation2 is the last book in the Bible but you don’t need to read the whole Bible first. Jesus course corrected all the plots and schemes of Satan as He played out His part. We find all this out as we read the rest of the Bible. Jesus’ story did not end on the Cross. It opened the door to the greater glory allowing him to sit at His FATHER’S right side in Heaven. Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, makes it clear in Revelation: to end well we must have our names written in the book of life.
How do I know my name is written in the book of life?
G_D has molded and shaped every one of us. HIS breath animates us. Our story, although already written, is always about choices. Jesus had to choose to obey all G_D told him. It is no different for us. The story of Jesus is written throughout the Old Testament even before Jesus comes to physical life in the New Testament. The Cross is not the end but only the beginning of The Glory Story. As soon as we accept His death as the sacrifice for our sin, repenting of it, he begins to speak to us. His Holy Spirit opens our imaginations to see and feel how we are doomed without Him. The weight of our sin sometimes is tangible and as soon as we cry out, Father forgive me, Jesus comes. A true repentant heart confessing that Jesus is raised from the dead is saved. This kind of salvation makes your name known in all of heaven so that your name is written in the book of life.
Your story, His Glory.
His love will never cease.3 He is the author and finisher of our faith. Faith is the glue that binds the book of our story. You and I are created to be His story. The story of His Glory.
Pray this prayer with me.
Dear G_D,
Thank You for my story. May my mouth confess that Jesus Christ is Lord being raised from the dead. I repent of all my sin. Cleanse me and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Write my name in the Book of Life. Together help me live out the story You have written for my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
1Genesis 1:26-27 King James Version
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
2Revelation 20:15 King James Version
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
3Lamentations 3:22-23 English Standard Version
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
